TOMORROW is the opening of the Sandugo 2000 Agri-Fair at the front of the old Capitol building and the Bol-anong Hikay at the Capitol Acacia Garden.  Both activities feature the best of Bohol’s agricultural products and cuisine. 

      The Bol-anong Hikay are food preparations that have long captured the Boholano palate but which visitors have yet to discover. It will be great fun and enjoyment to come and taste all on display.  

      The Bol-anong Hikay will as well include the Painitang Bol-anon and the Pagka-ong Kinaham. The Painitan will feature the best-liked native delicacies and merienda fare in the province. 

       It could be remembered that the Painitang Bol-anon was a huge success during its debut during the Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan when our balikbayans trooped to the food stands to relish the longed-for treats from the different towns all over Bohol.     

       The Pagka-ong Kinaham on the other hand will feature unique tidbits characteristic of the island’s rich edible marine and crop resources. The Monday kick off will start with the “Ubi and Vegetable Medley” where our local and foreign tourists will delight in the varied array of fresh Boholano vegetables as well as the renowned aromatic purple ubi (yam) of Bohol.

      July 18 will feature a meat festival dubbed as the “Karne Val” sponsored by the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian and the Local Government of Loboc. The 19th will highlight merienda treats galore with its label “Torta ug Uban pa” with the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist and the Rural Improvement Clubs on the forefront.

       There will be a Manga Fiesta on the fourth day on July 20, which will be jointly hosted by the Mango Grower’s Association and the Tri-Manga Cooperative. Friday will be a feast of marine treats with “Kinilaw and Seafoods Galore” hosted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Farmer’s/Fishermen’s Associations of Panglao, Candijay and Buenavista and the Central Visayas State College of Agriculture, Forestry and Technology.

       A Pasalubong contest in search of the original Boholano food and handicrafts that have never been introduced to the market and which have a potential of becoming another delightful Boholano pasalubong will cap the whole week food affair.   

      Aside from bingeing on the sumptuous food of the island during the week-long food spree, the event will also feature an agricultural fair which is geared to give more mileage and recognition of the crops of Bohol.

     The Sandugo Agri-fair 2000 dubbed as “Kabiling Yuta’g Dagat…Langit sa Bohol” reflects the great value and respect that the Boholanos place in its land. The agri-fair is designed to showcase Bohol’s prime agricultural commodities that are not only locally but also globally competitive.
 
       The fair will also feature demonstrations on sustainable production and utilization technologies that will enhance productivity and value of the different crops and products of the island.

       Starting on July 17th until the 21st the fair will showcase lecture/demos on various techniques on the successful production and processing of crops like pineapple, ubi, cassava, bananas, coconuts, oyster, tilapia, mud crabs and more possible sources of industry. 
It will also showcase film and video showings and short courses on packaging designs and labeling as well as flower arrangements and disease prevention on crops.

      So come and enjoy this lively festivity that will highlight even more the cordiality, friendliness and gracious spirit of the brave and resourceful Boholano.
